• MAC - impossible to find "Pictures folder" / Iphoto photo library and open the Iphoto Application at all

  Hi all

  I have Apple devices for a few years now, but I still find it difficult to understand the system. I want to put an end to that, so I finally registered.

  I try to look at the tutorials and read the forums, but I can't find concrete answers to my situation.

  First of all, in my application of Photos of my MacBook, I remove hundreds of photos and videos, then I go to recently deleted screen and I delete them all permanently.

  However my disk space is the same before under 'Storage' summary when I check "to about this Mac". I restarted the Mac and waited for days, the space does not release upward.

  Then I read in a forum and found the following answer:

  Your photos has not deleted because they still exist in iPhoto or Aperture, whatever you use. Photos saves disk space by creating links to the already existing files in iPhoto/Aperture, rather than duplicate. This means that if you want to delete a file, you must make sure that it has deleted all.

  If you can live without ever using iPhoto/Aperture once again, go to your Pictures folder and delete iPhoto Library and Aperture Library . In this way, the only copies of your photos will be those photos, and removing free space on your computer.

  
  

  The questions are the following:

  
  

  (1) after reading this, I decided to look it up in my pictures folder in the Finder to locate the iPhoto library, however it is not there on the left side, after reading the forums, I still cannot locate the iPhoto library anywhere.

  (2) in case I finally find my iPhoto library and delete it, are the images that I see now in the deleted Application Photos?

  (3) another curiosity, when I try to open IPHOTO, the following message appears:

  

  And then after trying the 'search App Store':

  

  I did not need to actually use my iPhoto or App Photos in particular, I do not yet fully understand the difference. I want to just my photos to be stored in ONE place and when I take hours to remove them permanently, get my rear space and do not learn, they still exist elsewhere (iPhoto library).

  Also please help me understand what am I supposed to do with the iPhoto application now that gives me these error messages.

  Thank you very much!

  (1) after reading this, I decided to look it up in my pictures folder in the Finder to locate the iPhoto library, however it is not there on the left side, after reading the forums, I still cannot locate the iPhoto library anywhere.

  The images folder must be manually added to the sidebar.

  Open the Finder preferences:

  • Click anywhere on the empty office to bring the Finder to the front, then go to the Finder menu in the main menu bar, open "Preferences".
    Click the tab of the sidebar and add all the items to the sidebar, you want to see.

  

  Now, open the images in the sidebar folder in the Finder.  Is your photo library in iPhoto there?

  Then drag it to an external drive to make a backup copy, then delete it and empty the trash.  Accidentally delete the photo library.

  (2) in case I finally find my iPhoto library and delete it, are the images that I see now in the deleted Application Photos?

  No, the photos in your library of Photos and the iPhoto library are separate files.  It was created by hard links.

  Hard links are new files, which use the same entry in the table. They store the contents in blocks of same on the disks, so the entries are not duplicated, but if you remove one of the linked files, the others will remain. The storage will be released, when the last linked file has been deleted.

• .apalbum files in iPhoto/Photos

  I am running Yosemite 10.10.5 on a Mac mini (mid-2010). 2.66 Ghz Intel core 2 duo 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3.  Updated since the Mavericks in April 2016, now trying to "Restore" saved from the clouds Zip files (so I can wipe) and we found a lot of files .apalbum.  Although I know that these are files of the opening, I never had Aperture, only iPhoto (v9.6.1) & then Photos (v.1.0.1), with the upgrade to Yosemite.  My questions are the following: (1) are these .apalbum relevant/necessary files to my iPhoto & photo files?  (2) if so, how could they be opened without opening?  or (3) If no, why they are there and can I blow them before restoring my backups?

  Chances are that you do not have a usable backup - so far that no base backup is working on an iPhoto or a library of Photos - you have a local backup? Why do you need to restore a backup?

• lost moving photo of iphoto photos.

  I've lost thousands of photos since his arrival in Photo in iphoto. Help! any suggestions?

  Hello tomdigiulio,

  Thanks for this info and choosing the communities Support from Apple. I know how important to get all your photos back is for you! From what you said, it seems you may be experiencing / having problems with moving from iPhoto to Photos for OS X as this article describes:

  Update to iPhoto to Photos for OS X

  Depending on your version of iPhoto, you may need to use the original tool of valorisation of the iPhoto on your iPhoto library library and then try to open this library in pictures for OS x:

  iPhoto Library upgrade 1.1

  In addition, if you have a backup of your personal data on your Mac, you could restore that data to recover your missing photos:

• Vs iPhoto photos

  When Photos for Mac was introduced, it was installed on my Mac, but I still have iPhoto. How can I get rid of iPhoto and its library connected (so-called Photos has all my iPhoto library and more?)?

  How can I get rid of iPhoto and its library connected (so-called Photos has all my iPhoto library and more?)?

  There is no need to be in a hurry to get rid of iPhoto and the iPhoto library. The image to the iPhoto library files are stored in the same place as image files in your photo library, so both libraries together share storage, see this link: Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

  You can take your time to check, if all the photos in your iPhoto Library migrated well library and if you need to copy captions or titles of your iPhoto Photos on events.

  Also your smart albums and books or calendars may not have been migrated completely, see this link: How Photos handles content and metadata for iPhoto and Aperture - Apple Support

  If you have iPhoto 9.6.1 you can always launch and compare libraries.

  When you are finished, make a backup of the iPhoto library and the iPhoto application and then simply delete them using the Finder. Then empty the trash.  He will not free storage however.

• iPhotos, photos, iCloud?

  I just transferred my huge library of iPhoto (120GB) to Photos app on my iMac, which is not sync to iCloud, but they are all stored on a local hard drive.  I also have iPhone where I backup all of my Photos on iCloud (25 GB) - and can see all these when I go into the Photos on my Macbook Air, where I don't store any separate photos.

  My question is (and I tried Googling and forums search) - if I turn now on iCloud sync on my iMac, photos from the iMac Photos get uploaded to iCloud Photos?  Then the pictures in the iCloud for my phone download on my iMac and get them merged into the local library?  And what of my phone and macbook air?  Can see all the photos of my iMac on the macbook Air (not on the phone, I'm going to assume that this is a one-way synchronization to iCloud only?).

  I'm trying to find the best way to consolidate somewhere, all my pictures from my phone and my iMac...  Without all these transfer to my macbook air does not take valuable storage capacity.

  Thank you!! (And my apologies, I am a newbie in the forums, where my question is not worded correctly!)

  When you enable iCloud photo library on multiple devices, pictures of these separate devices will download to iCloud photo library to create a photo library unified in iCloud. And all the photos that you upload to iCloud photo library will be uploaded to all devices that use iCloud photo library.

  The library will be updated to be the same on all devices.  Do not enable iCloud library on where you don't want to have all your photos uploaded to devices.

  You could disable iCloud photo library on your MacBook Air, or use the "Optimize Mac Storage" option.  While the MacBook Air will only download small and optimized your photo versions and does not store the originals of complete sizes.

• Do not click "choose library" when trying to open the iPhoto photo library

  I have my old iPhoto library on my external hard drive, and I've recently migrated to my Photos app by creating a new library. He opened once, but now when I option-click on the Photos app and highlight my iPhoto library, it doesn't do anything when I click on "choose library". How can I access my photos out there? My only other option would be to open it in an iPhoto application that I have more.

  Photos will have created a new library. To access your migrated again iPhoto library, click the library with this icon to open it in pictures

  It will have a file name extension .photoslibrary.

  If you do not keep this library migrated and want to migrate the iPhoto again library. change the extension of the Library.migratedphotolibrary of iPhoto to iPhoto Library.photolibrary

  Then you can open it in Photos by dragging the icon in the Dock of Photos in the library.

• Could not find iPhoto/Photos to import into Lightroom

  Hi-

  I'm new to Lightroom. I downloaded the creative Amazon Cloud literally last night. When I click on the "Import" button, it evokes the access to the essentially all of the files on my computer with the exception of the pictures that have been uploaded to iPhoto/photos for October 2015. I tried all means to find a link to these photos, and it's as if they don't exist to Lightroom. Outside of Lightroom, I noticed now that when I look at 'Images' in my Finder window, there are all my old photos (before 10/2015) and a file called "iPhoto library" and a file called "photo library". None of these files can be opened from the finder. If the photo is opened, all the images are there.

  I feel like there is something corrupt going on behind the scenes that is bad orientation of my photos. Any advice would be much appreciated!

  -ALlison

  Right-click on the photo library, and then select "view the contents of the package. What happens will be many subfolders. One of them will be named Masters. There you will find all your images. But LR cannot access it from this file/folder of the package. You will need to copy or move the Masters folder to another location on your hard drive for LR to see.

• iPhoto book card and calendar each shuts down the system

  iPhoto slide show and Album both work normally.  The book features, card & calendar show a loading... indication, but almost immediately the activity stops and no entry except force quit is available.  A problem report is generated.

  A problem earlier with iPhoto had recently been resolved.  The problem and the solution are in the Discussion iPhoto 9.4.3 frequent crashes presented by iGardener December 14, 2015 and involves the removal of two of googlemap and S60v3.rar. html files The used at this stage iPhoto library is smaller... less than 200 photos.

  The above solution made me very happy and grateful for the discussion forum.  I have this post in hopes that I can return these functions of iPhoto.

  Greetings from Jerry-a-Tic.

  A solution to the problem that I reported when I continued to look for Discussions of iPhoto.  Specifically, MattyMiles interviewed on "iPhoto, photo books, calendars, cards of ' back on November 14, 2009.  A recommendation, due to old Toad, the user to verify the "Theme" folder to HD/Library/Application Support/iPhoto has led to a solution for the problem I raised.

  The Themes folder and the database file was, from its date, a new file, apparently created when I reinstalled iPhoto in a vain attempt earlier to solve the 'problem of crash induced Google'.  Fortunately, I had a copy of the folder themes, which turned out to be a backup.  Replace the existing folder and the Themes.db file to the location of the HD , solved problem.  A reboot is not necessary...

  Thanks to MattyMiles and old Toad.

• Although I disabled the photo library and deleted the photos on my iPad 2, photos app resumes still 1.3 GB. What's wrong? I need this space.

  

  Check if you have some deleted photos left by a bug that prevented some deleted items of aging out:

  1. go in settings > general > Date & time, turn off automatically game and change the date to 9/1/3013

  2. go to the Photos App and see if you see a folder deleted recently - if so, click on it to see if there are pictures here and if so, select all and delete them permanently

  3. go to settings > general > Date & time, put the value automatically come back on

  Good luck

• Cancel Icloud photo storage and process to not lose the photos?

  I have a question for the Group:

  I have 7 000 photos that are based on iCloud photo storage. I know that like want to pay for storage.

  What is the process to cancel without losing any of my photos?

  Do I have to download all photos of the original library, then cancel?

  Also, I recently bought an IPhone 6. I did not notice that the iCloud photo library has been activated on the phone and therefore 5 000 photos and video are now on my phone. How can I safely remove them without losing the original photos? I have disabled iCloud photo library now but to delete all photos, the phone is off.

  Any help appreciated. Thank you!

Because you have disabled iCloud photo library on the phone, you can safely remove the pictures on it without affecting anything else.

  Any help appreciated. Thank you!
